Over-the-top retro glamour inspired Tom Ford's latest collection, so none other than makeup "mother" Pat McGrath created a sparkly smoky eye to complement the clothing. This limited-edition eyeshadow from the designer's beauty line was key to creating the dark and decadent look.

This show had perhaps the most memorable beauty moment of this New York Fashion Week, as nine models got bright bowl cuts to match the bold, '80s-inspired collection. Diane Kendal created a coordinating metallic, jewel-toned eye look using shadows from Marc Jacobs Beauty's upcoming holiday collection.

Maxwell's collections are all about modern glamour so this season's beauty look took a stab at a red lip that works for everyone. Tom Pecheux carefully chose this matte Mac potion, which turned out amazingly on a diverse range of models.

With this season being Bottega Veneta's one-time jaunt down the New York runways, the beauty look was bound to be major. So, of course, McGrath headed the team of makeup artists to tailor bold lips from her eponymous line to many of the models.

Jeremy Scott always creates a wild wonderland of color with his collections, and this season's neon wigs and '80s disco ensembles naturally needed a makeup statement to match. Just ahead of Scott's launch of his collaboration with Mac, Kabuki created an exaggerated winged-liner look using pigment from the iconic makeup company.

Plein does not play by the rules. His Fall/Winter 2018 show notably included a UFO landing, a robot opener, and plenty of Jetsons-esque futuristic inspiration. So naturally, makeup artists made drugstore makeup chic with this highlighter from Maybelline, which let models' faces shine as bright as their bedazzled skiwear.

The models at 3.1 Phillip Lim glowed with dewy complexions and nude hues of gloss on their lips. NARS international makeup artist Francelle Daly applied swipes of NARS lip balm in "orgasm" to the models' lips for "a sheer kiss of color," Daly wrote on his Instagram.

The beauty looks in Jason Wu's Fall/Winter 2018 collection complemented the delicacy of the Swarovski-dusted ensembles in the show. Thomas de Kluyver dexterously applied thin lines of black eyeliner to the lids of Bella Hadid and other supermodels who walked in Wu's collection.
